When the readings for the Pentecost Vigil are proclaimed at Saturday Masses, we hear the story of the Tower of Babel. Singer-songwriter Natalie Merchant's new album, Keep Your Courage (with a statue of St. Joan of Arc on the cover!) includes a thought-provoking song called Tower of Babel:
See this house is divided
See how we're broken in two
It's just a Tower of Babel
And everybody's so confused
Everybody feeling the danger
Nobody dare to make a move
It's just a Tower of Babel
Everybody's so confused
Everybody's spellbound and waiting
Everybody roped and tied
It's just a Tower of Babel
Nobody gets out alive
Everybody's so confused
Everybody's so confused
Everybody's so confused
